Hi, lads. How did our boy Eddie Nketiah do?

Hi Gan,

Yeah, I would say Bielsa is good. His style of play is fantastic to watch because he likes to play possession football and play out from the back. Also he wants the players superfit which in my eyes is a good thing as when teams tire we carry on.

He favours a small squad with a core of about 18 players with some youth waiting in the wings. The only problem is if key players get injured but he likes players who can play in multiple positions.

I think he is a great coach as he took a team that was on the slide and within a few weeks changed that team into a side that played flowing football. Players gained confidence with playing the ball and not just hoofin it.

Not sure on the highlights as I normally just check on Leeds Newsnow site if I can't get to see match.

I can see why about the grumbling now that you mentioned what Pullis did and I suppose if a young Leeds talent went out on loan and wasn't getting any game time I would be the same.

Hopefully he will get more game time, it takes a while to get into a Bielsa team as he himself says that he will normally pick his fittest 11.

All the best as well mate.

Thanks, mate. You're just scored against Stoke about 20 secs after I logged in here.

Your description of Bielsa is basically exactly what that Gooner mate said. Can see why he wanted him as Arsène's replacement now.

It will be nice when you come up as it's always better having footballing teams that hoofaball types.

Think Eddie's already earned his place on the bench as a sub that can expect to come on so all going to plan so far. Bielsa saying this week that there could be times him and Bamford play as twin strikers was even better.

After we switched to 4-3-3 when we get RVP and sold Adebayour several years ago, I never thought I'd seen an old skool strike partnership again. But the Laca-Auba partnership has been our only bright spot in the last 18 months.

Anyway, just keep a clean sheet this 2nd half, and any more goals and/or Eddie coming on will just be a bonus. 3 pts (and relegating those Stoke cünts) is all that matters.
